Of interest, climate is one of the five soil forming factors and has a significant influence on the properties of soil. Soils in warmer or wetter climate are more developed than soils in cooler or drier climate. Warm conditions promote the chemical and biological reactions that develop parent material into soil.

Climatic Factors in Soil Formation

Have you ever wondered why deserts have dry soil while forests have rich soil?
Climate is a direct influence on things such as soil moisture and temperature.
Climate is important because it influences plants, which can transform soil.
If temperatures are extremely high, all the water evaporates away.

If ATP breakdown (hydrolysis) is inhibited, which of the following types of movement across cell membranes is also inhibited?

Len [333]

Answer:

d) passage of a solute against its concentration gradient

Explanation:

When a solute is transported against its concentration gradient, the cells use metabolic energy. To move a substance from the region of its lower concentration to that of its higher concentration, the energy of ATP hydrolysis is utilized. These types of transport mechanisms are called active transports. If ATP hydrolysis is inhibited in a cell, it would not be able to perform the uphill movement of solutes due to the lack of any source of energy to drive the process.

Sodium ions, oxygen (O2), and glucose pass directly through lipid bilayers at dramatically different rates. Which of the followi

Elodia [21]

Answer:

The correct order, from fastest to slowest, for the passage of molecules and ions through the cell membrane is oxygen, sodium ions, glucose (option D).

Explanation:

The plasma membrane is a lipid bilayer, with glycoproteins and membrane proteins, which constitutes a semi-permeable barrier to the passage of substances into and out of the cell.

The speed with which a substance can pass through the membrane depends on its chemical properties -hydrophilic substances pass through with greater difficulty than lipophilic ones- requiring in some cases specialized transport mechanisms. The different rates with which a substance passes depends on this.

Oxygen (O₂) passes through simple diffusion, depending on a concentration gradient. It's the molecule that passes through the membrane the fastest.
In second place, there would be the Na⁺ ions -charged atoms- that cross the membrane by facilitated diffusion, through specific ionic channels.
The glucose molecule, being larger, requires the use of transport proteins, being its passage through the membrane slower with respect to oxygen or sodium.

Undoubtedly, molecular weight and affinity for the plasma membrane are determining factors for the passage of molecules through the lipid bilayer.
